A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Strokes show modest modulation, with slightly thicker verticals and clear, squared-off terminals that keep counters and joins crisp. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with generously open bowls and apertures; the lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, while capitals carry a classic, slightly formal presence. Numerals are solid and legible, matching the font’s grounded, newspaper-friendly texture.
Well-suited to editorial systems where clarity and authority matter—magazines, newspapers, and long-form reading. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that need a firm, classic voice, and for branding that aims to feel established and dependable.
The tone is confident and traditional, combining a no-nonsense sturdiness with an editorial polish. It evokes established publishing—serious, dependable, and quietly authoritative rather than flashy or expressive.
Designed to deliver robust readability with a traditional slab-serif voice, balancing strong serifs and restrained contrast for a stable, text-forward texture. The overall intent appears to be versatile typography that can move between display sizes and continuous reading without losing its grounded character.
The serif treatment is prominent enough to create a strong horizontal emphasis, giving text a stable baseline and an even gray value in paragraphs. Letterforms maintain consistent detailing across cases, supporting clear hierarchy from headings to body copy.
